Is it proper for me to rinse rice? I read in a recipe that some do that.

I am a novice cook, I can see why some men folk should be banned from the kitchen, but it's that or eat take out every night.
Ma will make spaghetti once a month, when the kids come over,,, man it's good,,

For 3 years I was in charge of organizing the Jr. Church Bicycle Ride, I was shocked what all come out of the wood work.
I now have Brothers and Sisters invite me to ride with them.
I need to be clear, I no longer attend that Church, LONG story, nothing bad about the Church, Just had to move.

I was given a couple journal's for Christmas last year.
When the Pastor walks up to the pulpit, and says "turn your Bibles to................" I write the verse, also note a short reminder of his sermon.
I keep a journal with my Bible always.

The very week, I become an un-married person, I will be at the Church in all my spare time.
I will work my job, I will live as cheep as I can, I will spend all I can on building needs and support missions .
Until then my hands are tied

Four br ot hers left home for college, and they became successful doctors
and lawyers.

One evening, they chatted after having dinner together. They
discussed the 95th birthday gifts they were able to give their elderly m ot her who moved
to Florida .

The first said, "You know I had a big house built for Mama."

The second said, "And I had a large theater built in the house."

The third said, "And I had my Mercedes dealer deliver an SL600 to her."

The fourth said, "You know how Mama loved reading the Bible and you know
she can't read anymore because she can't see very well. I met this
preacher who told me about a parr ot who could recite the e nt ire Bible. It took
ten preachers almost 8 years to teach him. I had to pledge to co nt ribute
$50,000 a year for five years to the church, but it was worth it.
Mama only has to name the chapter and verse, and the parr ot will recite it."

The ot her br ot hers were impressed. After the celebration Mama se nt out
her "Thank You" n ot es.

She wr ot e: Milton , the house you built is so huge that I live in only one
room, but I have to clean the whole house. Thanks anyway."

"Marvin, I am too old to travel. I stay home; I have my groceries
delivered, so I never use the Mercedes. The thought was good. Thanks."

"Michael, you gave me an expensive theater with Dolby sound and it can
hold 50 people, but all of my friends are dead, I've lost my hearing,
and I'm nearly blind. I'll never use it. Thank you for the gesture just the
same."

"Dearest Melvin, you were the only son to have the good sense to give
a little thought to your gift. The chicken was delicious. Thank you so much."

Thank You 2Tin215, It is now a well used knife in the kitchen, Slicing meats, vegetables etc. Not new anymore.
